    Best sauv blanc
    Lauren M.

    You guys... this place. I don't even know where to start. It's AMAZING. The food was beautiful the flavor was on point and to service was next level. I still dream about this meal & ambience. The most glorious date night experience in the most romantic city. If you think it's not worth it, think again, it's absolutely worth it!

    Salmon Tartare
    Candice T.

    I loved every morsel of food at this restaurant! I ordered a la carte since I wanted particular items. The dinner started with amuse bouche, which was delicious! It was a creamy cheesy sauce with pesto at the bottom, which prepared perfectly with the bread. I also had the salmon tartare, which had a crispy topping with an amazing white sauce which complemented the salmon very well. It was delectable. Next was the 63°C, egg which was really really good. By this point, I had to take a break before my main course. My main course was the veal filet mignon. Despite me not normally likely fried food, it was really good! I had the Skale wine (bold red blend from the region). Everything was amazing! Highly recommend if you're in the area

    Terrific food, good service and amazing ambiance! I want to know what goes on inside the mind of the interior designer of Mlýnec. The bathroom had grass and vines covering the ceiling!

    FINE DINING and soooo fun!!!! A wonderful experience with scented towels to wipe your hands to start, palette cleansers in between courses, and wonderful service. The meat was tender and flavorful. The dessert was a delight and a gorgeous presentation! Would absolutely go again and highly recommend.

    Great food. Its definitely on the higher end and one where the chef is always willing to try something new. If you're not a very adventurous eater, then I would not recommend that you eat here. It's on the pricier end for Prague prices, but still more affordable than the US if you want a fancy upscale dinner. I ate here for a work gathering and was pleased to see how serious they took my slight dairy allergy. They asked in advance and then as our family style shareable meals were being brought out, they gave me an alternative for each course if it contained dairy. I've never had any restaurant take care of me like that before! I thought this place was so good that I needed to take my BF there when he arrived to Prague. Something I learned though is that their menu rotates. The meal we ordered and what's shown in the photos were a part of their weekly lunch special during the week of 6/28/2024. I'm not sure if they'll serve it again! However, if they don't, I will say the lunch special pricing was awesome! There was the option for a 2 course or 3 course meal given the 3 listed items. You were allowed to mix and match for the 2 course which is what we did. I ordered the starter and the entree, and my BF ordered the entree and the dessert so we could try everything. The meal was something different than we would have usually ordered, but were pleasantly satisfied at the end. We dont usually eat fancy foods, so this was out of our element! We knew it was fancy when we saw how they plated our food. They also gave us palette cleansers in between our dishes (a shot of some type of green juice!). Also, our dessert was sitting on a plate that they poured water into to make the dry ice smokey! How cool. Overall, very attentive staff that pays close attention to patrons and their allergies. The ambiance/decor was stunning on the inside, and the food was high quality. I only rated it a 4 because I didn't appreciate the creativity of the food given my limited palette!

    Pear martinis...90% apple juice
    Andrew C.

    We had a very poor experience at this place. Biggest problem was the service, but we also did not enjoy the drinks or most of the food. Service was extremely slow, both when we were seated (and not acknowledged for quite a while) and the 15 minutes after our drink order was taken and nothing was served. Other people eventually dropped off our drinks and food, but our waitress neglected to check on us after our drinks and food were served, and there were problems with both. Our pear martinis were glasses of apple juice. Our veal filets with the sauce just tasted very bitter. The only reason this is a 3 star and not a 2 star review is because the Foie Gras Terrine appetizer was really delicious. We just didn't have the patience to wait any longer on our waitress to bother having dessert or after dinner drinks. I recommend avoiding this place.

    Smoked Veal Tartar

    We arrived at the beautifully decorated restaurant to be given the disappointment of being penalized for being a group of 10 - paper tasting menu. The appetizers were great and very well presented but the mains lacked a pop and design. Why is it that a fine restraunt gets creative on their starters but weakly shows their skills in their 60 dollar entrees.

    Overall one of the best dining experiences I've had in Prague. Service was attentive and friendly though the pace of the dishes was too slow for my liking. We waited over fifteen meals in between some dishes. Got the 5 and 6 course tasting menus. My favorites were the foie gras, pike perch and the veal tartare. All three were executed perfectly. There was a lot of usage of purées and veggies which can be a bit overwhelming when you pair it with delicate flavors and the texture may be a bit too much of a contrast. Although they say their veal is one of the best I found it to be a bit underwhelming and nothing special. My piece in particular was overcooked. Although there are some pros and cons with my experience I think overall it is still a great place to try and the tasting menu really is a great value. Would recommend!

    We came for brunch the day we were leaving Prague. We had reservations, and we were seated outside. The waiter came and explain it was a fixed menu with various courses. I asked him if I could have just the main course because it was too much food for me. He said it was was ok but then called his supervisor who explained me that he couldn't make the exception but promised me it was going to be ok. After, I glimpse at my emails and saw one email from Mlýnec apologizing that they couldn't book us for today because they were full. WHAT? I was there having my brunch and the place was quite empty. I was so pissed by now, but I confess I loose my temper easily. So, we decided to give it a try anyway. Having said all this, the food was amazing. The combination of flavors, the presentation of each course, the wine selection. So, so good! The price is pretty high but worth it. Vinimos para el brunch el día que dejábamos Praga. Teníamos reservas, y nos sentaron en el balcón de afuera. El mozo vino a contarnos que era un menú fijo con varios pasos. Le consulte si podía comer solo el plato principal ya que era un montón de comida. Me dijo que ningún problema pero después llamó a su supervisor quien me explicó que no podían hacer esa excepción pero que me prometía que iba a estar bien con todo. Luego, mire mis emails y me encuentro con uno de Mlýnec pidiendo disculpas pero que no podían confirmar mi reserva porque estaban llenos. QUE? Estábamos ahí, haciendo brunch y el lugar estaba bastante vacío. Estaba tan enojada a esta altura, aunque confieso que pierdo la paciencia rápidamente. Conclusión, decidimos quedarnos y probar. Habiendo contado todo esto, la comida fue espectacular. La combinación de sabores, la presentación de cada plato, el maridaje del vino. Muy, muy bueno! El precio es elevado pero vale la pena.

    Course 2 soft drink pairing - Apple, Rhubarb, Elderberry
    Jessica S.

    We both really enjoyed our dinner here. We made reservations kind of late in the game, but they were able to get us a table for the night that we had originally requested. We showed up a bit early, and were asked to wait at the bar. We ordered a couple of drinks (martini for him, mojito for me) and waited a bit for our table to be ready. The hostess stopped by our bar table a few times to apologize for the delay, and to keep us appraised. I guess they were serving a party of 50 (!), so it was taking a bit longer for our table to be prepped than they had expected. Not that it mattered to us - we had nowhere else in the world to be. The hostess then came back to let us know that the table was ready, and showed us to a small table sandwiched in between two large parties. Not ideal, as it was very loud, but it was better than the first table we were offered. We had taken a look at their menu online the day before, and while I was excited about the food, the thing that appealed to me the most was the soft drink pairing that they offered with their "Most Popular" tasting menu. A soft drink pairing! Normally I'd go wine pairing, but I'd never seen anything like that before, and was intrigued enough to give it a try. Because, of course, we both decided to go with the "Most Popular" tasting menu (though, the hubs did go old school and pair his with wine.) The first thing brought out to us was an amuse bouche, which was a celery foam and bacon shot. It was interesting - a bit soupy, a bit celery-y, a bit bacon-y. I enjoyed it. Course 1 was the Smoked Veal Tartar, which was my favorite by far. It was smoky, with a fresh, clean flavor to the meat. The smoke didn't overpower the meat, and the truffle mayonnaise that was served with it really brought all the different flavors together. The soft drink pairing for course 1 was a beetroot, violet syrup and lemon concoction. I love me some beets, I do. But this was overpoweringly beet-y. The earthiness of the beets made it almost undrinkable. I did my level best, but it was difficult to finish. Certainly not my favorite. I can't imagine what people who hate beets would think of it. Course 2 was a Carpaccio of Scallops, served with apple, avocado puree and fennel. This was nice and refreshing - the scallops were sliced thin, and the apple added a tart bite to the dish that actually paired really well. The soft drink pairing for this course was an apple, rhubarb, elderberry drink, and it was much more palatable. Where the first drink was thick and strong, this drink was light and easy to drink. It did pair with the scallop dish rather well, too. Course 3 was my second favorite dish of the night - a seared sea bass served with a vanilla potato purée, capers, olives, and a baked lemon juice. It's hard for me to hate any fish dish, so it's not surprising that I enjoyed this. The fish was buttery and flaky, and the potatoes underneath added a nice bit of depth to the flakiness of the fish. The soft drink pairing was by far my favorite - made of jasmine, vanilla and lemon. This was also very light and easy to drink, and the vanilla in the drink brought out the vanilla in the potatoes. Course 4 was a filet mignon a la Schnitzel, which, while it was perfectly cooked, was a bit odd. I know this is one of their signature dishes, but it's just odd to bread and fry a beautiful piece of meat like that. Still, it was tasty, and it was served with a medley of vegetables. The drink with this dish was a carrot, raspberry and honey one. This was definitely savory, and had both of us in the mind of a tomato-based soup. It wasn't terrible, but it was a little much by that point. The 5th and final course was dessert - a chocolate lava cake with mint ice cream and mint crumble. This was served with a cherry, chocolate and orange drink, which I found discordant. The mint was delicious, but was overpowered by the cherry in the soft drink pairing. It's odd that that was their choice for this one. The cake itself was divine - all ooey and gooey and perfectly paired with the mint ice cream. Plus, they put a huge sparkler on my plate to celebrate our anniversary. PS - all the wines that they served my husband were local blends, and he loved them all. We enjoyed our evening immensely. Every person we came in contact with - from the hostess to the bartender to the team of waitstaff - was friendly and helpful and informative. And while I did enjoy the idea of the soft drink pairing, I wouldn't do it again. Not that I didn't enjoy the creations, but it's just SO MUCH liquid. The serving sizes are twice as big as a wine pour, and they just kept coming! Still, highly recommend this restaurant for any occasion - the food is delicious and the service is top notch. Plus, the views are brilliant - they're right on the river and have views of the Charles Bridge from the plate glass windows.

    Cod main course

    Super tasty food!! Expensive... but delicious worth it. The menu is small but everything on the menu is amazing. Service was great - every single person we encountered was more than generous and knowledgeable.

After trying some relatively disappointing pork knuckles, I decided to take a chance on Pork's. We went after visiting the Prague Castle around 3 PM. Having walked past it a few times, there was always a line, and I was hoping eating between meal times would help. While it was shorter, there was still a line, but it moved quickly. When we got into the restaurant, I immediately noticed how smoothly everything operated. The restaurant was quite large. Much bigger than I anticipated. The second we sat down, a server approached us to ask if we knew what we wanted. It was clear that their main goal was to rotate people out of the restaurant as fast as possible. I knew I wanted the pork knuckle, but I wish we had a bit more time to look through everything, including the drinks. I ordered the pork knuckle first and planned to get a drink when the server came back. Before I knew it, the dish was on our table. With the small menu and constant turnaround, it wasn't surprising that the food was already prepared and only needed to be plated and sent to our table. It took about three minutes total. The skin was extremely crisp, so much so that it was hard to cut through at points, but the knives provided were nice and sharp. The first bite I had was extraordinary. The meat inside was still juicy and tender despite not being made to order. It was so soft and contrasted perfectly with the crispy and oily skin. It was very rich, but was nicely balanced by the necessary mustard that came with it. As I continued eating, I found that the whole knuckle wasn't perfectly consistent, with some bites being slightly dry. However, this didn't take away from the overall experience and the high highs that the dish achieved. If anything, there needed to be a little more mustard just to have enough for each bite of meat. The pork knuckle here was the best I had during my time in Prague. Pork's is all about putting food on the table and cycling guests in and out of their restaurant, which I respected. They aren't trying to blow customers away with outstanding service, which is still friendly, but is very limited in interactions to keep things quick. The food alone carries the restaurant to a high mark that makes up for any shortcomings in the service experience. Pork's is an easy restaurant to recommend in Prague as a great place to try a delicious pork knuckle and more.

I could be intoxicated by the delight of visiting Europe but the sausages were so delicious and fresh. The mustard and horseradish which accompanied the dish were delicious and complimented the protein so well. For the main dish, my waitress also recommended the Chicken and Rice.

The chicken was so tender that it melted off the bone. The rice was so dense yet fluffy. Each bite combination sprinkled with the gravy made for a euphoric taste in each chew.
